The outlet says other team members will be staying there, and the Cavaliers and Trump Hotel do have a contract.

Some are applauding the players putting their money where their political views are. But this kind of boycott is nothing new for this election.

Anti-Trump activists compiled an entire list of companies to boycott because of business ties to the Trump family, including Amazon and Nordstrom.

Trump supporters called for boycotts of Starbucks and PepsiCo. after their CEOs expressed concern after Trump's win.

And Trump himself called for boycotts against Apple and Megyn Kelly's show on Fox News throughout the year.

But experts note boycotts have a more symbolic impact than an economic one. And the companies most vulnerable are the ones with a good reputation to lose.
